The Democratic Foundation
For the Monroe County Democratic Party to by successful in recruiting candidates,
organizing campaigns and winning elections, continuing financial support is needed.
Our Headquarters is an especially important factor in our success on each Election
Day. Office space, computers, internet access, telephones, copier paper and toner -- while
not glamorous -- are important for the Democratic Party to remain strong. For this
reason we are pleased to announce the formation of the Democratic Foundation, an
honor roll of recurring monthly contributors to the Monroe County Democratic Party.
We welcome you to join and we thank those who already have.
And, of course, there is no obligation to donate monthly. All donations to the
Party are greatly appreciated.

FAQ's
Q: What is the Democratic Foundation?
A: The Democratic Foundation consists of MCDP donors who pledge continuing
monthly support for MCDP operations.
Q: What do the monthly contributions pay for?
A: Foundation funds cover the maintenance of our Headquarters including such basic needs
as rent, phone/internet service, utilities, office supplies, etc. Foundation
contributions are used for opperational expenses, not campaign expenses.
Q: How do I contribute?
A: Since 2005 the MCDP has accepted online donations on its
website. We use ActBlue, a "Democratic PayPal" created in 2004 to help Democrats
raise money online. Democratic Foundation members can sign up for monthly
recurring donations through the "make a donation" link on the party
website. It's quick, it's easy and it's SECURE. If you want to join the Foundation,
make sure your contribution is set to occur on a monthly basis.
Q: Is there a minimum donation?
A: Democratic Foundation members are encouraged to join at the $20
dollar level for 1 year. Donations can be less or more than $20. Democratic Foundation
members decide the level of support they wish to contribute.
Q: What happens if I change my mind or cannot continue as
a Democratic Foundation member?
A: Recurring donations can be cancelled at any time by
following the instructions on the ActBlue website.
Q: What if the Democratic Foundation contributes more than
is needed to cover HQ expenses?
A: The flow chart on the right
shows how Foundation funds will be used. First, Foundation contributions go to
pay current rent and office expenses. Any funds left over will top-off our checking
account with a two-month operational buffer. Anything above and beyond those
expenses will be placed in an MCDP Capital Development Fund which will be
dedicated to the eventual acqisition of a permanent MCDP Headquarters.
Democratic Foundation members will be recognized on the party website at
http://www.monroedems.org/foundation.php and the Foundation board at HQ unless
they wish to remain anonymous.
